Double Fine’s MOTHER / EarthBound Retrospective

January 1st, 2015 | EarthBound, MOTHER 1, MOTHER 3, Videos

After a few weeks away I’m back and have a huge pile of things I need to update about 😯 First, though, is a set of videos published on Double Fine’s YouTube account about each of the games in the MOTHER series:

“Programmer on Costume Quest 2 and Mother superfan Ben Burbank shows off selected scenes from the entire trilogy and explains the complicated history of this beloved cult series. Featuring a mix of Japanese and English releases, fan translations, and imported hardware, Ben takes us on a journey through the bizarre cultural mashups and heartfelt story that define Mother.”

Ben Burbank’s a cool dude and he even popped up in some of our past Poemato CX streams to share inside info about his work. Anyway, here are the videos!

EarthBound 64 + MOTHER 3 Game Boy Advance:

If you’ve got a few hours to spare, check ’em out! If you’re a huge fan of the series you might already know most of this stuff, but there might be other things in there that might be new too!
